There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Passaic to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
